Chapter 77.2

“The person suspected to be involved is the vice president of a conglomerate affiliate and the youngest of the three Alpha brothers. The president is currently absent….”

Hae-won rolled up her lips and swallowed them.

The three alpha brothers of a large company were more likely to be JS groups. Adam hasn’t gone public yet.

Above all, the absence of the chairman was a direct hit.

Currently, Chairman Joo Pil-tae was in a coma.

“JS Steel, Vice President Joo Dong-min…… It’s the same, right?

Asked Bora cautiously.

Haewon nodded. And added in a calm voice.

“It’s all right, Bora. My engagement with Adam has not been announced yet. This won’t hurt anything.”

“It’s not that, but what I’m worried about is…….”

Bora opened her mouth urgently.

“It’s you. Vice President Joo Dong-min will be your father-in-law in the future. But he’s doing this behind your back.…!”

In any case, Bora, who was complaining about the fact that there were more people, was surprised. Hae-won has been quiet for a while. Bora looked up at Haewon.

“CEO?”

“……Ah, I’m sorry. Bora, can you leave me alone for a second?”

“Yes, please call me right away if you want me to.”

“Thank you.”

Bora snapped the door shut.

Hae-won, who was alone, stared blankly into space.

Bora, who had been looking at her until a while ago, came to mind belatedly. But it was a funny thing. Because she didn’t feel anything.

She was rather relieved.

‘The wedding may be delayed.’

Then there is no child between Adam and Sera either. She also bought time to find the alpha in question.

“……I’m glad to hear that.”

Hae-won, who was muttering unconsciously, came to her senses quickly. She was disillusioned with this idea.

She’s not in a situation where she’s supposed to be relieved.

“You crazy punk!” Joo-nam’s sharp voice rang out.

Joo Dong-min sat on his knees in front of him and sweated profusely.

The atmosphere in JS Steel’s Vice President’s office was simply thin ice, no, hell. The employees were not even close to the vice president’s office.

“Hyung-nim, I’m sorry.”

“Can’t you shut up?”

“Hm…!!”

Joo Nam took off his glasses as if snatching them and put them in his front pocket. His eyes, ripped like snakes, rose sharply.

“Fuck!”

No matter how much he screamed, his anger didn’t go away.

Today, Joo Nam had an appointment with a foreign buyer. It was an important deal at stake for tens of billions of won. However, the buyer was away for a while after a phone call during the meeting. Soon after, the words from the buyer’s mouth, who returned, were a bolt from the blue.

‘I’ll have to make this deal a non-existent one.’

‘What do you mean?’

‘You know, we value transparency in our clients’ management more than anything else.’

‘Transparency……. I’m sure you’ve already verified JS Steel’s accounting books. If you have any doubts, we will resolve the misunderstanding right away.’

‘Let’s end it here so that we don’t waste any more time with each other.’

Is he putting me down?

Joo Nam couldn’t manage his expression as the elaborate plan collapsed unexpectedly. A subordinate approached him and showed him a tablet PC.

‘S-sir, you need to look at this.’

‘Do I look like…… What is this? JS Group’s stock price manipulation suspicion?’

Joo-nam’s face crumpled up. When he straightened his crooked glasses and looked up, the buyer had already left.

‘Who is the bastard who wrote this article? XX Daily? I’m going to kick them right now,’

‘Now, hold on a second. This is not the only one. Other media outlets have reported similar reports…….’

‘What?’

‘Argh!’

Joo Nam grabbed his subordinates by the collar and smashed them. The expensive tablet PC that fell on the floor was crushed and smashed by Joo-nam’s shoe heels.

‘Joo Dongmin! Joo Dongmin……!’

Joo Nam-nam immediately drove to JS Steel headquarters in anger. However, when he arrived at the vice president’s office, the office was empty. Joo Dong-min, the main culprit, went drinking until dawn and was now sleeping.

‘He didn’t even go to work……!’

Joo-nam began to throw all the things in the vice president’s office when everything was completely turned.

Frames on the wall, plaques, furniture……. He broke everything he could get his hands on.

When Joo Dong-min, who received an urgent call from his subordinate that he was running wild, arrived in a hurry, the vice president’s office, which turned into a garbage dump, was waiting for him.

And now again.

“Hoo…”

Joo-nam breathed heavily with one hand covering his face. He circled in place like a mad beast. His stomach ached like crazy. He couldn’t calm down at all. This is because the tens of billions lost today were funds to be used in future equity battles with the chairman. He blew it away with a phone call.

Because of that idiot!

Only today did Joo-nam realize that a stupid ally was more dangerous than an enemy.

‘I’m done…’

Joo Dong-min closed his eyes tightly.
